/></div><br />1. When emotional, ALWAYS post immediately, do NOT take time to calm down.<br /><br />2. If you have a problem with a group or person, POST the problem or question before contacting them. That way other people who are less informed than you can post their opinions, too.<br /><br />3. Post, Re-tweet, etc any article that agrees with your viewpoint before checking on its authenticity. Then make sure after it gets tons of comments and likes and you find out it was wrong, just delete, don't apologize or post a "fix".<br /><br />4. Comment on any post that emotionally gets you charged up (see 1) before you know any of the facts or even the other side of the story.<br /><br />5. Use it to manipulate people and situations before ever attempting to do it as a responsible person by doing so face to face.<br /><br />6. Assume everything you read on social media to be the truth, especially from people you like and generally agree with.<br /><br />7. Make sure to bend the truth or use stats to justify your belief system.<br /><br />8. If you really want to stir the pot, make anonymous posts so that you can say and do anything without accountability.<br /><br />9. Be as snarky and rude as possible.<br /><br />10. Depersonalize every situation that you read so that you can forget how you would feel if someone used social media in a similar way towards you or someone you cared about.<br /><br />Lastly, I guess you can write a blog entry and sort of "subtweet" everyone, but let me tell you, I've been guilty of many of these things, I just haven't always posted.<br /><br />Type, type, type....back space, back space, back space.Coach Perry Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540585307778069215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611049780367350724.post-34449333674376690482017-07-25T08:14:00.001-04:002017-07-25T08:15:31.116-04:00What You Do Matters<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3lw5WGjxoVM/WXc16ohw1rI/AAAAAAAAAao/uEfcFWW7bAkj18KzHM7yOXqxgbr5xDd4ACLcBGAs/s1600/C9F7pxFXoAAz1GW.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="568" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3lw5WGjxoVM/WXc16ohw1rI/AAAAAAAAAao/uEfcFWW7bAkj18KzHM7yOXqxgbr5xDd4ACLcBGAs/s320/C9F7pxFXoAAz1GW.jpg" width="177" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(This is my dad, he is a great man, he has helped me become who I am and I hope to pass much of what he taught me to my son)</td></tr></tbody></table>Most of us have the ability to do something today to make our little world better.<br /><br />Whether it is monetarily, saying a few words, spending some time with someone, we have that ability.<br /><br />It's not like in the US that most of us have to worry about water or food, so that gives us a lot of "free" time.<br /><br />So what have you done today to make the world better?<br /><br />It can be as big as supplying a well for a village in Africa.<br /><br />It can be as big as providing medical help for people in South America.<br /><br />Or....<br /><br />It can be hugging and kissing your wife and kids.<br /><br />It can be putting your hand on a co-worker's shoulder who is struggling and letting them know you care.<br /><br />And it can be smiling at someone you pass and saying hello.<br /><br />I challenge myself &nbsp;every day, to get up and make a difference.<br /><br />It doesn't have to be 100% of the time, but do something because if we aren't what's this all really for?Coach Perry Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540585307778069215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611049780367350724.post-52323137823671553772017-07-20T13:18:00.001-04:002017-07-20T13:18:40.249-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F087lA5hqv8/WXDl64j-bgI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/a1F6vYh1Y0c8ILNxElIDREc6OTLAj17kACLcBGAs/s1600/CxvSMBlXAAAucqX.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="675" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F087lA5hqv8/WXDl64j-bgI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/a1F6vYh1Y0c8ILNxElIDREc6OTLAj17kACLcBGAs/s320/CxvSMBlXAAAucqX.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br />Coach Perry Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540585307778069215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611049780367350724.post-50904454285808084252017-07-18T13:20:00.002-04:002017-07-18T13:23:09.021-04:00Good Day With My New Mates<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_UOqm-a1Qto/WW5C9-0ePdI/AAAAAAAAIN4/wE95M9idTrQ3JX8FGvdiu9KCK2iYT833wCLcBGAs/s1600/DEoo4WCXgAEHuT5%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_UOqm-a1Qto/WW5C9-0ePdI/AAAAAAAAIN4/wE95M9idTrQ3JX8FGvdiu9KCK2iYT833wCLcBGAs/s320/DEoo4WCXgAEHuT5%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />Last week, I got a text message from a friend, Shane Howard.<br /><br />Shane runs Custom College Recruiting, a business that is helping boys and girls from many places around the world to come to the USA to play sports.<br /><br />But Shane called and said that an Australian team was in Indianapolis and needed some help with a gym.

It may surprise some, but people of different colors, religions, and regions are not too much different from each other.<br /><br />I have found that people want to work, they want to have a family, they want to make life better for their children, they want to love and to be loved, they want to be appreciated and they want to live a life of meaning.<br /><br />It's no different here than it is in Indonesia, Kenya, Iceland or Macedonia.<br /><br />Life is hard; here and there.<br /><br />Before I became a follower of the Nazarene, I looked for fulfillment in many things from alcohol to women to many indulgences of self.<br /><br />And they never provided long lasting fulfillment.<br /><br />Sure, I had some fun but it was so fleeting and the hollowness following was not worth it.<br /><br />I am here to tell you that Jesus provides hope and hope is a strong anchor for our lives.<br /><br />He provides hope when you are dealing with horrific situations or living in a way that seems like there is no future.<br /><br />I promise, He provides hope.<br /><br />He turns drug addicts into counselors and he puts smiles in children who live in slums.<br /><br />Jesus will not cure all ills, he will not fix every problems in a moments notice, but he will provide that hope...<br /><br />Because...<br /><br />Life is hard.<br /><br />It's is easier with Jesus Christ and the hope of this life he provides, but also for the hereafter knowing that this is not our final destination.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZAcMHtLbi0/WV_Y9p3MxhI/AAAAAAAAIMY/4jpg0_yF3-Au7WafdA3yIaf-ji4AF9iawCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0627.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZAcMHtLbi0/WV_Y9p3MxhI/AAAAAAAAIMY/4jpg0_yF3-Au7WafdA3yIaf-ji4AF9iawCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0627.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nBEvJAXuy8Q/WV_Y9hR8SmI/AAAAAAAAIMc/6BXKPJxfRkYOYpUrvT_TavUIMPKnJgFEgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0651%2B%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1203" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nBEvJAXuy8Q/WV_Y9hR8SmI/AAAAAAAAIMc/6BXKPJxfRkYOYpUrvT_TavUIMPKnJgFEgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0651%2B%25281%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />Perry Hunternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611049780367350724.post-35016002656171516462017-07-03T14:17:00.000-04:002017-07-07T15:01:08.271-04:00You Went Where?!

I'm not saying other people are not blessed to live in their countries, but I'm speaking for me. We are often so covered in blessings, we just figure this is how life is...it isn't. It's like a fish just assuming that everything else is wet until it isn't one time and then it really appreciates what it has the other 99% of the time (if fish can think or be appreciative).<br /><br />I believe that you have to travel overseas or to some places here in the U.S. for many of us to truly appreciate what we have on a daily basis.<br /><br />Ranging from quality healthcare at a moments notice to haagen-dazs ice cream, we are quite spoiled and yet, many of us are unaware of that. We complain about what we don't have instead of seeing what we do which is more than the average human being on this planet.<br /><br />But...<br /><br />Think toilets and toilet paper; I don't think I have ever had to use a hole in the ground and been in a public bathroom with no toilet paper...but I digress...<br /><br />Second, I realize that we get to see the best in people when we are traveling. You would have to stay somewhere longer than two weeks to see some of the "warts" of a country, but the people in Eastern Africa were so nice.<br /><br />It is almost embarrassing, okay, it is embarrassing how much they tried to help us maintain our lifestyle in a country that doesn't allow that for a large amount of people.<br /><br />It is embarrassing that when you go through security (there is security to enter anything there, think airport security then put that on entering church, the mall, a small grocery store, a cafe, etc.) they seem embarrassed that they have to do their job and search you, and many times they don't.<br /><br />But the people...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was amazing and you got to see an authentic worship, but something stood out as we entered the church area.<br /><br />First, there was a gate to get into the church parking lot and security was at the gate. They checked your car and then you moved on to the parking lot.<br /><br />Then right as you entered the church, security took a wand over you to make sure you weren't bringing anything harmful into the church.<br /><br />Then we had regular church worship.<br /><br />Later, we went to a couple of malls to pick up supplies and you had the same situation as well as at all the hotels.<br /><br />Security at the gate checking your car and security at the entrance running a wand over you.<br /><br />It made me wonder when will this happen to the United States?<br /><br />I don't think it is a matter of if it will happen or not, but when....once we start to have consistent terrorist attacks or even the threat of them, I can see it happening.<br /><br />Tomorrow, we head to Kibara, the largest slum in Africa...I'm sure I will have more to say then because we had our pre visit meeting tonight and was overwhelmed by what the adults are doing in Soweto Academy to help the situation there.Perry Hunternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611049780367350724.post-13468219703864694512017-06-03T11:56:00.001-04:002017-06-03T11:58:57.917-04:00We Made It<div class="separator" style="clear: both;
